Black Gold Online is still in development, and the test will use an earlier Alpha version of the game. There will be some limitations, and of course the occasional bugs, so we need the help of gamers to explore the game and provide constructive feedback for improvements. The early stage of the Alpha Test Drive will be by invitation only to ensure the most effective results for growing gamer engagement and experience.

The Alpha will include 8 playable classes from 4 of the races; half from the Steam alignment of Isenhorst and half from the Fantasy side Erlandir. Players can explore the various game functions, including questing, Faction vs. Faction battlegrounds, and open world PvP. It will also include crafting, vehicle construction, and instance dungeons.

We at Black Gold Online would like to thank all the fans for their support as we get ready to move forward with testing on what we believe will be an amazing MMO built on a strong community.
